a9bdf57 adds a fairly light and POSIX-compliant adjustment of cram tests to use gdiff on FreeBSD instead,
thereby ensuring consistent output across all *nix platforms.

With the fix only Windows (marked 'experimental' and hence not causing an overall red CI light) remains the only failing platform tested.

I'll file a separate PR to reenable runtest from the opam-file, as those are now green too on ocaml-ci (with the tested ocaml.5.5).
